Noted a new page being inserted between clicking a serp link and getting to the actual site. Google is putting up a page with the title "Malware Warning" and Warning - the site you are about to visit may harm your computer! on the page It then has this: Suggestions: Return to the previous page and pick another result. Try another search to find what you're looking for. Or you can continue to example.com Then it says: advisory provided by Google

It also gives a link to a StopBadware dot org that looking at the whois Google owns although the site says that they are just a partner of Google I searched here and didnt see anything posted about it and have never seen this before - isnt Google kinda setting themselves up for a lawsuit since when I clicked this link it was definitely a clean site (not mine in any way) In this case I thought maybe they were using the blacklist status from whois - but I checked and both that IP and the host are both Clear status I then read the Stopbadware site and it seems that anyone can report a site and it will get listed - seems to be a really good way to get a competitor taken out

plasma - all I know is I was looking in the Serps witha rather common search term - and clicked on the first (#1) result and got this warning page from google - and I was using IE the url with the name of the specific domain exampled out was: [google.com...]
